Описание:

Wootton Bassett One Hundred Years Ago is the ultimate guide to the history of the town and its surrounding countryside during the post-Edwardian era. The series comprises three volumes: 'The Great War', 'The Town', and 'The Country', which together form a much extended and improved successor to Sheridan's previous book, Wootton Bassett in the Great War (2014).

This volume is part one: 'The Great War'. It begins with a Roll of Honour for the fallen heroes of Wootton Bassett, Hook, Lydiard Tregoze, Tockenham, and Brinkworth. It tells the story of the area throughout the war years, with reference to local regiments, recruitment, nursing, volunteer activity, employment, German prisoners of war, Belgian refugees, remembrance, war memorials, and much more. Finally a useful appendix and last names index acts as a resource for the subsequent books in the series.

The author, Sheridan Parsons, is a professional local and family historian. She has a Postgraduate Diploma in Local and Family History and she is a member of the Register of Qualified Genealogists, the Society for One-Place Studies, and the Family and Community Historical Research Society.
